I am interested in the vps collections of our community members and want to ask some questions about your vps usage.

  1. How many vps do you have?
  2. Which geo location are you using?
  3. For what purpose are you using your vps?

For now:


1. 4 active vps.


2. West Coast USA (Los Angeles) since it give lower latency to SEA.


3. Web server, file server, openvpn server and monitoring server.

Alrighty, well I guess this is worth it.

Just to make it easier, I'll just state where they are, who they're with, and what purpose each server is doing in a list. 

DigitalOcean 512MB RAM KVM (San Francisco, California, USA) - Remote Desktop and OpenVPN Server

BuyVM Storage 250GB (Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) - Storage

IPXCore 256MB RAM OpenVZ (San Diego, California, USA) - OpenVPN Server

Tortoises Lab 512MB RAM Xen (Los Angeles, California, USA) - Remote Desktop and OpenVPN Client and Data Processing Server(OpenFOAM, Computational Fluid Dynamics Data Processing and Generation Server)

Catalyst (Hey that's the company I work for!) 2048MB RAM KVM (Dallas, Texas, USA) - OpenVPN Server + Codiad (For Matlab) + Git + Other Misc Uses

SecureDragon 256MB RAM OpenVZ (Tampa, Florida, USA) - Centralized Monitoring System (Observium)

Prometeus 256MB RAM KVM (Milan, Italy) - IRC ZNC

Prometeus 50MB RAM OpenVZ (Milan, Italy) - IRC ZNC

Prometeus 512MB RAM SSD OpenVZ (Milan, Italy) - MySQL Server

Many of the prometeus plans were from their large discounted events (e.g. the 512MB SSD OpenVZ was during the World Cups where Uncle released a 70% off code) and were paid yearly or free (the 50 MB OpenVZ Plan was free).  

This doesn't include dedicated servers I have colocated and rented out right now (granted I did just sell one of my powerhouses that I used for CFD work).  

This also doesn't include a few (less than 5) VPSes I have currently sitting idle.  

I've come a long ways since mindlessly purchasing every single VPS Offer I saw (e.g. I think at one point I had over 30 VPSes).

Ramnode - 2 US locations

BuyVM - 2 US locations

DigitalOcean NY

Prometeus, Italy

Those are the ones I'll admit to using and having :)   They are all running Nginx and other web servers for varied content.  Some are for DNS and caching and others for tunneling.  Mostly things get used for either experimenting or fronting dedicated/colo servers.

Sitting on a pile of other prepaids that are super idle and need weeded/eliminated.  Lots of provider turnover with my more preferred "premium" plans (i.e. big disk, favorite locations, etc.).

1. 10 is all I am able to remember, but I think that's all right now.

2. NYC, Las Vegas, Dallas(3), Phoenix, Virginia in the US, United Kingdom(2), and one in Frankfurt, DE.

3. NYC/Vegas/UK used for one DNS system, and then Dallas/Phoenix/UK and Virginia used for a ghetto CDN I have going, one Dallas node as a shared Wordpress node, a Dallas storage node, and then Germany for e-mail.

There was a time where I used to have a vps with EDIS, BuyVM, Prometeus, and co but I'm proud that I've cut down my use to a single VPS.

1x Ramnode 256 KVM SSD-Cached VPS (CKVM-E5) - Seattle - 256MB CKVM-E5 - IRC, OpenVPN server.

I used dedicated servers for other purposes.

I don't use VPS's at all, simply because I do not trust anyone enough with my data; not only that, I do not like the idea of not having control over ring0 :)

You're just asking for me to get all pedantic about the whole VT-x technically being ring -1 thing, aren't you? :D

KnownHost VPS-2 (1024MB Virtuozzo): DNS hosting & personal web hosting for self, family & friends.

BuyVM 250GB Storage VM (256MB KVM): Offsite backups of KH sites & (TBD) ownCloud instance.

FlipHost 100GB Storage100 (256MB OpenVZ): More offsite backups of KH sites and testing of new stuff.

BuyVM 128MB (OpenVZ): Bought because it was there. Sure I'll think of something to do with it, eventually.
